First Endo apt booked

I am being my own advocate on this journey but I am impatient and feel like I need some professional support, if only to talk!

I have a half hour MS teams apt next Friday, I want to maximise my time so wondered if there is anything I need to run by him?

I’ve collated my recent blood results to discuss and obviously my concerns and symptoms, just hopping for someone supportive to be on this ride with me and agree to the subtle tweaks I am making ie GF, inc Levo, added Vit D and Magnesium

BEFORE CONSULTATION

Always send through all recent blood test results and ranges

Short summary of treatment so far

Which brand of levothyroxine you are on

Current dose and when last increased

Tick list of hypothyroid symptoms

Don’t be surprised if endocrinologist is not interested in vitamins or food intolerances
